My problem with Kristen -- and supervillains in general -- is that you can't write human-scale stories for them after they've kidnapped, killed, bought people back from the dead, etc. This custody battle between Kristen and Brady is ridiculous. She'd just take Rachel and travel the word with her. 

Unless she's doing it to get under Brady's skin, but that's not what's coming across on screen.

Happy to confirm I can continue to watch the show on Peacock through Xfinity without coughing up any extra cash.

And, lest we forget, this is not Original Kristen v. 1.0  (Eileen), no this is Kristen v. 2.0 (Stacy). Kristen the character has no reason nor rationale to be manic & v. 2.0 (Stacy) is manic all the time. Manic characters are exhausting & use up all the air in the cabin! Therefore they should be used only sparingly. Spare us so much manic Kristen!

Going now to log on at 9 in the morning.

Got waylaid. Haven't made it there yet. This: This morning, attuned to the peacock as I am, I got email from Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary, Locust Grove, GA that they have Avian Influenza & just had to euthanize all the peacocks! (and other birds, too) They will be closed & under strict quarantine for a minimum of 5 months!

The problem with Kristen is her characterization and writing.  Even at her worst in the 90's I never viewed her as a supervillian and I think she could have come back from the John/Susan/Marlena stuff in time.  Without getting too far into things I have said countless times the way ED came back in 2013 and seemed like she was a changed person, but was still calculating and out for revenge was worked well.  It was still pretty small scale revenge -and still tied to John/Marlena. SH's Kristen has been either written as an absolute psycho villian or as an anti-heroine playing house with Brady and hugging Marlena.  Kristen being fixated on Chloe/Brady is so stupid for someone with her power and evil mind.  Agree about Rachel and just taking off with her.

Agreed.  Unless you are truly trying to redeem Kristen (which the show isn't) why keep her around? It loses the effectiveness of the character because in order for them to stay evil and on the show multiple plans have to fail and it ruins the sinister threat of the villian (see Orpheus).

Watching on your lunch break is kind of fun

I liked the little introduction by Stephen and Mary Beth. And I'm kind of glad that nothing has changed on the show.

It was nice to see they finally included some mentions of workplace harassment and how it doesn't fly anymore in this day and age. Alex was likable today, except for when he had the ice cream cone. And yeah, not only does he need to ditch the That 70s Show wardrobe, he's gotta get rid of that ugly chain too.

EJ/Ava/Johnny was the best part of today, but once again, the show moved too fast. It's like they try to fit two episodes of drama into one when it comes to certain storylines. Today really should have ended with EJ walking into the bedroom, and tomorrow should have been the showdown. DF is great, but he can't really shine as EJ if you don't give him any drama heavy performances where he can show the range of anger, emotion, etc. And yeah, I'll never understand how, on soaps, grief always leads to sex. Every time I lost a loved one, sex was the last thing on my mind

Huh? I didn't see any little intro. Weird. For me it was watching mid-morning because the phone & email & all manner of stuff got between me & the show! But, it was good. I like Stephanie more every time I see her. Lovely for Alex to change tracks. But, please don't have Stephanie do an about face. We'll get whiplash! And, always nice for our girls to recommit & snuggle.

Grief & sex, death & sex, proximity of a dead body & sex, all unrealistic. But, how about that Rolf brainwashing?!! Stefan is there, chapter & verse. He even said ChloeLane like it was one word. His annoyance at people calling him Jake is the perfect touch. He is truly a good actor.

      Terrific ideas -- but would Mike and Nancy's great-grandson bear the last name Dallas?  Yuck.  Any way we could make him a Karr?    And in a similar vein, how could Bill and Martha's granddaughter bear the name Marceau?   I love the idea of continuing the Karr, Marceau, Hillyer, and Drake legacies, but if the new characters do not use the familiar last names, the effort to connect them to the past is rather fruitless.  Just my personal observation.

      It's doubly a shame because one thing Long excelled at was using backstory to enhance the present story. I think that's one reason why Josh and Reva took off the way they did--the early stuff is really good. (Unfortunately, they ruined it by overusing the characters). Imagine if Roger returned to get involved with Alex, and her brother and ex, who used to be dire enemies, came together to oppose him. Instead, Mike was nowhere to be seen and Alan was written out for years. Yes, casting would have been an issue, but when you think about what they wound up with for 15 years...

      I've never been so annoyed to be running late. lol   EVERYONE looks so pretty.   Happy to see Andre and Eva interacting, Mona being there, and happy to see Nicole play matchmaker for Dani. Fingers crossed that FOINE doctor from Nicole's last event pops up.   @kalbir Andre looking like a snack in that tux.

      Also gotta feel sorry for Mona, realizing today that she’s only known Leslie for a few months; she’s going to blame herself for all of this.

      The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.

      Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
